TRANCE

All the base rules for Yggdrasil still apply when playing with this expansion
except for the transe and Hel’s effect.
Trance
In renouncing my divinity,
My brothers’ power grew mightily.
For, by the magic of the Sejdr,
These worlds and I are now bound.
In a selfless act of sacrifice, a God can enter a trance to increase all of the other Gods’ power.
This expansion adds a new action in addition to the original nine.
For one action, the active God can enter or leave
a trance. Simply turn the God sheet over to the
other side (normal or trance).
The active God cannot enter and leave a trance
during the same turn.
Trance
As long as a God is in a trance,
• he and all the Gods get a new power: the Trance Power of
the God under the trance. The Trance Power can be used
by any of the Gods, including the one under the trance.
However
• This God under a trance loses his Personal Power and
• the God under a trance cannot perform an action in
Asgard, i.e., the God under a trance cannot attack one
of the six enemies.

Trance Power
The Viking counters that Hel removes from the
bags are not placed on the World of the Dead any
more, but are permanently discarded. The Gods
cannot use them again during the game.
At the beginning of his turn, Odin draws 2
Enemy cards instead of one, chooses which
one he wants to play and puts the other one
back on or under the deck.
When they play on the Ice Fortress and
defeat a Giant, the Gods discard the Giant
of their choice, one who is active or one
who is still in the deck.
Thor has a permanent bonus of +1 for combat.
The combat strength of each Giant is
reduced by 1.
Frey can perform 4 actions (intead of 3) during
his turn, but they still have to be different.
On the Sacred Land, the Gods apply all
the effects of the track up to and including
the point where the Vanir is. Then, it is
put back on the first space of the track.
Freyja can perform 2 of her 3 actions on the
same world. She can enter and go out of the
Freyja Trance during the same turn.
When they fight, only half of the Vikings
used (rounded down) is placed in the
World of the Dead. The other half is
given to Freyja.
Tyr can roll the die twice and choose one of
the results in any situation.
When fighting, the Gods do not discard
Vikings until after rolling the die.
Heimdall can take 4 counters instead of 3
when he looks for souls in Midgard.
Heimdall
All the Gods (including Heimdall) now
have Heimdall’s Personal Power as the
Trance Power.
When Frigg looks for souls in Midgard, she
places all the Fire Giants she finds in the
Frigg Kingdom of Fire.
When they play on the Kingdom of Fire,
the Gods remove 5 Fire Giants from the
bag of their choice. If there are less than 5
Fire Giants left, all of them are removed.
In combat, every Elf that Vidar uses before
rolling the die counts for 2 Elves.
When they play on the World of the
Elves, the Gods can discard an Elf and
take 4 Vikings from the World of the
Dead, instead of taking an Elf.
The Vikings that Magni uses in combat are
put in the bag of his choice instead of on the
Magni World of the Dead.
When the active God is fighting, one
other God can help him by giving him
any number of his own Elves, Vikings
or any combination of the two groups.
Odin
Thor
Frey
Tyr
Vidar
Sif
Sif can play three times on the Dwarven Forge
for only one action.
All the Artifacts’ bonus increase by 1.
When Njord looks for souls in Midgard, he
can choose the counters in the bag instead of
Njord taking them at random.
When they look for souls in Midgard, the
Gods can ignore the Valkyrie and take
counters in the non-Submerged island
of their choice.
When Idunn draws an Enemy card, the power
of its effect is reduced by 1. (Fenrir with 0
lightning is calmed down automatically for
Idunn 1 action.)
At the beginning of each God’s turn, the
God rolls the die. If the result is white or
blue, that God gets 1 additional action
for this turn.
